Indications Newer MAOIs such as selegiline (typically used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease) and the reversible MAOI moclobemide provide a safer alternative and are now sometimes used as first-line therapy. Source: Internet

Interactions Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI) have been known to prolong and enhance the effects of psilocybin. Source: Internet

Marmite must not be ingested if a person takes a MAOI antidepressant, such as phenelzine (Nardil) or tranylcypromine (Parnate), as yeast extracts interact negatively with these types of medications. Source: Internet

Without RIMAs or the MAOI of MAO-A, DMT would be oxidised (and thus rendered biologically inactive) by monoamine oxidase enzymes in the digestive tract. Source: Internet

In this usage, the DMT is generally considered the main psychoactive active ingredient, while the MAOI merely preserves the psychoactivity of orally ingested DMT, which would otherwise be destroyed in the gut before it could be absorbed in the body. Source: Internet

Taking a MAOI prior to vaporizing or injecting DMT prolongs and potentiates the effects. Source: Internet
